Global Generic Pharmaceuticals Market is valued at approximately USD 361.7 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 8.3% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Generic pharmaceuticals are medications that are identical, or bioequivalent, to brand-name drugs in terms of dosage, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, and intended use. Generic drugs are produced after the patent for the original brand-name drug has expired. This allows other pharmaceutical companies to manufacture and sell the same medication at a lower cost because they do not need to invest in the costly research and development that is required to create a new drug. The Generic Pharmaceuticals market is expanding because of factors such as rising, increasing ANDA approval and generic product launches and government initiatives to promote the usage of generics.
The rise in the number of ANDA approvals and generic medication product launches accounts for the market growth. according to the U.S. FDA's Generic Drugs Annual report, the number of ANDA approvals increased from 948 in 2020 to 776 in 2021. Additionally, from the same source, it was reported that 100 ANDAs had been approved overall by the end of 2021. Governments have implemented programs that offer various opportunities for significant generic drug players to cut back on expenditure on pharmaceuticals. As an illustration, by using generic medications in 2021, the U.S. government saved USD 373 million on pharmaceutical costs. According to the AAM Generic Drug & Biosimilars Access & Savings Report 2021, 91% of prescriptions are filled with generic medication, which represents 18.2% of prescription drug costs. In addition, the increasing Disease Burden and Rising Geriatric Population are creating lucrative growth in the market. However, a lack of transparency about the actual price of generic drugs hampers the market growth.
The key regions considered for the Global Generic Pharmaceuticals Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America dominated the market in terms of revenue, owing to the presence of key market growth and the region's increasing disease prevalence, along with these increasing number of favorable government initiatives coupled with the rising number of product launches and demand for a generic drug is driving the market growth in the region. Whereas Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to factors such as rising geriatric and target populations, an increase in the number of collaborations for product development, geographic expansion of key players, and active participation of government and nonprofit organizations in the market space.
